GoingSideways: Exploring at Home

[mdlbear]

The latest post in GoingSideways.blog is Exploring at Home.

One of the most common pieces of advice travelers get is, if you can’t go anywhere right away, go traveling in your own town or city. There are reasons why people go to visit pretty much everywhere for the fun of it, from the wilds of Borneo to urban Seattle to small-town Iowa. Find the reasons why someone who isn’t from your city would go touring in your city, and do it yourself. Sounds easy, right?

My town is really boring. I'm hard-pressed to think of why anyone would visit it as a tourist.

I'm not from there, but I know people visit the wilds of Borneo to learn how to write some of the most ferocious assembly language subroutines known to man! (*grin*).

But seriously, I live in the land of the Smithsonian Institution and rarely visit any of the museums. I really should fix that, especially with a young child who may enjoy some of them.
